GSL - Global Starcraft II League May 2011 Thread

All caught up now, pretty amazing games all around. Well I still haven't watched Bomber vs MVP in the finals for Code A but I'm all up to date on Code S. Nestea vs sC was about as good a Bo5 as I can remember seeing, and while I was cheering for Nestea by the end I was rooting for sC a bit, he played so well and it was just so damn close.

Also Artosis was cheering SO HARD for Nestea I reflexively started going for the upset. I don't mind that Tasteless and Artosis sometimes have an obvious rooting interest in one player (Cliiiiiiiiiiiidee) but that was a little over the top lol.

Also since the min.us thread was bumped I got to re-see an old .gif I made.

Flash in G20 summit video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbQ9KVLYoy4&hd=1#t=55s
A video shown to people, to introduce them to Korea. I wonder if SC II can match the legacy of SC.

Up and down matches about to start. I hope Jinro doesn't get knocked into code A.

Jinro should beat Coca and stay in Code S, he is good enough. Huk is fucked though, he's not going to beat either MMA or MKP, whomever it is that he ends up facing.

Yea, that's gonna be hard to watch.

But on the plus side, the K-POP has begun!
 
San and Tester
Jinro and Coca
are who I think will make it but tbh as long as Jinro makes it I wouldn't be dissapointed by any of the others making code S. Zenio has been slumping but he is good when he is on his game imo.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Wow, I really really feel sorry for HUK now :(

I don't really care about Jinro myself. He seems like a nice guy, but I have a hard enough time choosing between MMA and MVP for my terran hero. Bomber might be better than either one of them, but he's kind of a dick.

One day I hope I'm good enough to have my ladder points taken by Tasteless. He is diamond and not grandmasters right?
I believe both he and Artosis are in Masters on Korea server

Trickster should play defensive after the first match. Silly to do early expand against rush happy Keen.

I doubt Trickster watched any of Keen's matches. Poor prep.

If Trickster hadn't expanded, he would have more troops for the rush, and would have won.
If Trickster had've focused a depot and waltzed on in, he would've won.

Just some terrible play from Trickster. Seemed to fall completely apart because he thought he was going to have a very easy win when his stalkers got to Keens base.

Disappointing games from Trickster.

Trickster: Here he comes to destroy my base, let me move my slowest units to the other side of the map.

Keen would have lost to the AI in that game. It knows enough to focus down one supply depot.
